I read Inigo Wilson’s Lefty Lexicon and the subsequent discussion. I cannot say I found it riveting, or amusing or even contraversial. it seemed rather like the sort of conversation I would expect a reminiscing group of old-Etonians to have. Wilson, a Community Affairs Manager for UK telcoms company Orange showed a rather bigotted sense of humour, he clearly likes the sound of his own voice, or in this case the look of his own words and the conservative acolytes leaving comments sounded more like Beavis and Butthead discussing global politics than a sharply satirical swipe at all things leftist. It became quite clear to me that Wilson doesn’t actually seem to have much of a grasp as to what leftist really is. The one piece of amusement that there was pertained to the fact that he has since been suspended from his job pending an investigation. There has been an outcry from many regarding Wilson’s right to say what he wants without censure and even many of the liberals have cited Voltaire etc. However I think the most pertinent fact is that Wilson has shown a complete lack of compentence for his job and whilst one could cast aspertions as to the interview process that didn’t weed him out in the process as an Orange customer I have to feel that perhaps now a better qualified individual may be appointed as a result of Wilson’s removal.

I decided to write my own lexicon a Tory Terminology if you will, to see whether it was, as in the case of Inigo Wilson’s an exercise that sucks all the humour out of the writer. I shall leave you to be the judge of whether it is or not.

A – America – what we want to turn this country into;Adam Smith – economist, wrote lots of stuff which backs up anything we do;Anarchy – System where the unwashed black-clad teenagers and unemployed take over.

C – Corporate responsibility – Hair-brained lefty scheme designed to make companies less efficient by worrying about ethics rather than profits.

D – Democracy – Necessary evil by which ‘our people’ can continue to govern whilst giving the semblence of choice to the great unwashed.

E – Euroscepticism – our parents and grandparents fought wars against Johnny Foreigner you know;Elitism – I get to take first because I was born in a big house, then it’s Hastings-Prosser because he comes from a posh family, you can have your turn later because you were born in a council flat;Empire – The good old days of the ‘We Rule It’ map of the world.

F – Fascism – Label we’re always tarred with, which can’t be true because that Hitler chappy led the National Socialist German Workers Party so clearly they were all a bunch of sausage-munching socialist peasants and foreign to boot;Futures marketMethod of economic speculation on things that haven’t happened yet based on known factors and predictions, and nothing like a planned economy at all;Flat Tax – A taxation system whereby everyone pays the same amount regardless of earning, sounds vaguely familiar;Free Market – System by which we are free to impose whatever import tariffs we like on our market in order to prevent foreign goods from competing with our own producers;

G – Green Issues – Pollution, what pollution? Look I use unleaded fuel in my BMW X5 you know;St. GeorgePatron saint of England, born in Godalming, Surrey;Greed – Integral part of human nature and the reason Communism can never work.

I – Individualism – forcing people to go against humans group mentality to work against rather than with each other.Islamophobic – A perfectly rational mistrust of a group of darkies and towelheads who believe in a God with a principle prophet and gather together in buildings and sing and chant stuff from their holy book, I mean have you ever heard anything like it?Immigration – means by which foreigners decide they’re bored in their own country so they’ll come to abuse our welfare system because we are a soft touch.

J – Jerusalem – City built in England’s green and pleasant land believed to have been somewhere near Basingstoke though the exact location archaeologists haven’t discovered yet, gave it’s name to a city in the Middle East.

K – Karl Marx – Bearded Victorian era buffoon always quoted by lefties whose writings none of us Tories have actually read, because he was a Kraut and the books have big words in them;

L – Left-Wing – any political theory not to the right of Thatcherism

M – Multi-Culturalism – a deliberate attempt to subvert our glorious British culture with foreign influences, we don’t need foreign influences, we call an entrepreneur and entrepreneur and have our own cuisine like Chicken Tikka Masala. If you want to come over here then you fit in and accept our culture like the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Normans did.

N – NHS – A drain on the funds of people who have BUPA and don’t need public healthcare anyway;National ServiceBring it back, didn’t do any of us any harm, the occasional forced buggery is character-building stuff, and mandatory for the Navy;

O – ‘On your bike’ what do you mean you don’t have the same opportunities?Oil – mmm, lovely oil;Old School Tie – The method by which through no individual merit we can get jobs with other alumni from our alma mater.

P – Privatisation – Splendid scheme by which we sell things that people already own back to them at a huge profit and make them pay even more for the service thereafter;Poll Tax – System by which everyone is charged the same amount regardless of services received and ability to pay, not to be openly supported again until we can come up with a name for it that doesn’t hark back to Mrs T. (See also ‘Flat Tax.’)

Q – Quangos – A way for disgraced party members or friends and family to have a nice little earner without doing any work.

R – Renewable Energy – Leftist plot to deprive philanthropic oil companies of their profitsRacism – Used against us spurriously, we have nothing against Johnny Foreigner provided he stays in his own country and doesn’t come here and take our jobs and women.

S – Special Relationship – The conservative policy whereby whoever is in charge sticks their head so far up the US Premier’s posterier as to have brown shoulder blades let alone nose; South Africa – A country whose economy was performing perfectly well until the status quo was changed due to some politically-correct leftist cabal;Social Cohesion – Has the word social in it, like socialism so it can’t be a good thing can it?

T – Terrorist – already defined by George W. Bush, anyone who doesn’t agree with our Western neo-conservative right to control their country;Tax – Conspiracy by which money is taken from good people to pay for foreigners to have houses and nice jobs and free healthcare.

U – UN – Organisation mostly of foreigners that doesn’t always have a Pro-US stance and therefore must be Communist;USSR – Communist state monolith that all lefties aspire to create only serving to prove that the leftie system doesn’t work.

V – Victorian – The golden age when we ruled the world and only had one other political party to contend with and they were almost as right-wing as us… wait a minute…!

Well, Kamrat Baron. Not everyone can be as Red, Radical and purely Revolutenary as you. Somr of us, including Mr Inigo Wilson, surely are not as a great proleteriat poet as you.
